The Independent reports:
At least 10 people are believed to have died after two explosions on the Saint Petersburg subway. Pictures posted on social media show the door of a Metro train has been blown out in an explosion, which is reported to have involved shrapnel-filled devices. Other images showed passengers lying on the ground of a station platform. A Kremlin spokesman said President Putin – who was supposed to be meeting Belarusian counterpart Lukashenko in St Petersburg today – has been informed. The second explosion is reported to have happened at around 2.40pm (12.40pm BST) on the blue branch of the St. Petersburg metro at the station “Sadovaya”. A device reportedly exploded in the carriage.
